A Perspective Contest For Screenplay Writers In this contest, we will explore various perspectives by using the prompts below. Your task is to write a screenplay from the perspective of one of the characters. I have developed seven characters with basic plots as prompts. Choose one to bring to life. This character should convey his/her perspective on the prompt provided with the outline of the character. You can name, dress, place or do anything you want with this character within the confines of the prompts. You have full control of the catchy title of your choice (with respect to the Writing.com's title post ratings). Use Writing.Com's search engine for guides on writing screenplays.

Ends April 5th ------------------------------------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ONEScenario Tammy is an African American, 24-year-old woman, from a small town (your choice). The town is predominately African American, diverse incomes; all ranges. She has finished college. Since she has never dealt with racism and discrimination, her tasks to gain employment she moves to be quite difficult. She is applies to one major law firm that is adjusting to Affirmative Action Laws. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TWO Scenario Elizabeth Conrad is the heir of a Conrad Hall & Williams Law Firm. She is 30, a graduate of Harvard Law, and from a small rich village in Wisconsin. She has never interacted with people outside of her race. She is aware of the laws to diversify her inherited company that has never in its’ 50 years of existence had to do before now. Her only knowledge of people outside of her race and socio-economic status has been through media; negative and positive. A lawsuit is pending against the firm for discrimination. Her colleagues have the same background as hers and are against hiring based on the new laws implemented by Congress. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THREEScenario Mayon VanClark is a 34 year old, African American male. He has a GED, a felon on probation for the distribution of narcotics. He is from a poor family where violence, drugs and alcohol riddled his family on a daily basis. His mother was an addict. His life revolved around hustling and trying to survive as he grew up, for himself and two other siblings. He attempts to pull his life together after spending five years in federal prison. He has no skills, no money and no job. He does manage to maintain a relationship with one of the women he was semi-dating before his sentence. She lets him move in with her and her children since she has known him for over 15 years. This woman is established, educated and loves him. He is not accustomed to love and misuses it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FOURScenario The night is young and certainly full of possibilities. You’re young, beautiful/handsome, educated and horny. Your last lover had to leave when he/she realized that you were not going to be his/her doormat. You can deal with most of your problems with a pretty level head. Your major issue is how horny you are night after night. You shop till you drop by day for the sexiest/hottest outfit that New York? has to offer. Here you can choose male or female and location. To make it interesting and to get real practice in writing from a character’s perspective, I suggest you write from the opposite sex’s perspective. Female: By dawn, you relax in your candle lit, hot and bubbly bath with some champagne you extravagantly splurged for. The hot bath only made your carnal desires worse. Male: By night, you realize that the cold shower, beer and sports channel just wont do the trick. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FIVEScenario You're a stripper. Occasionally, you moonlight fulfilling your client’s fantasies. You were abused as a child. As part of the emotional abuse that normally assists in being abused, you were always told that you would be nothing more than a low-life. Your esteem is low. You want to change this image of you. You attend seminars, and self-help events in the attempt. Memories of what you have done in the past are discussed as a part of this therapy you part-take to help yourself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SIXScenario You are a white male. A bigot. You are rich and own stock in many companies, which allows you to call shots within these companies. You and your family are traveling one sunny afternoon when someone cuts in front of you, landing your vehicle upside down. You are the only one conscious. Your family members are whisked off to the hospital by ambulance. Both of your children need transplants. You use your money to advertise for these organs. When the public finds out that it is you that needs these parts, they don’t want to help you because of your reputation. To make things worse, the only matches are from African American donors of families you have destroyed or in someway helped to with your bigotry ideas. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SEVENScenario You work for a company that has some really sexy/handsome employees. The atmosphere is amazingly beautiful. You are married but this one employee that smells and look so good always seems to be in the elevator with you, alone. You can feel the tension, the chemistry between you two. So can he/she. You fantasize this person. You try to fight the feelings… Number Seven has been inspired by MagnoliaQueen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ________________________________________________ >>^^`````^^^`````^^<< Gift Points First = 10,000 Second = 5000 Third = 2500 ((Gift points will increase with donations))^^``**``````**``^^  Donators: WANTED*** *** *** **** **** **** The Honorable Judges Magnolia Queen Sugaree Kindly Thank the Contributors!
